Footwear will keep you from getting hurt while you are under water. For maximum comfort you need to choose the right pair of scuba boots. The things to check out should include the thickness, sole and cut of the boots. These are all dependent on the type of diving that you will be doing. As a general rule, the thickness of the boots should be the same as the thickness of your wetsuit.

If you will be diving in warm waters, a thin wet suit and boots will suffice. Thickness of 2-5 mm should be sufficient. In cold waters you will need thicker diving apparel. The sole and cut of the boots is also important. If you will be doing mostly shore diving one with a thick sole will be necessary. You will be more comfortable while going over rocks and hot sand. A high cut boot is required when diving in cold water.
